Locate Once a signal of interest is identified the SA2600 provides various field proven signal hunting tools to locate it For the easier to find signals the signal strength meter produces audible tones that vary in pitch as a function of the received power The user can simply point the antenna in the direction that receives maximum power This allows them to look for signals while watching their surroundings not the screen Figure 3 Signal strength for accurate signal finding Fie View Setup Took S IN bik JJa e 9 ten ty f for rapid in field analysis Harder to find signals such as those influenced by multipath fading or low signal strength the SA2600 provides several signal mapping tools to facilitate hunting for these signals Maps can be imported from a variety of formats using the PC based iMap Converter application Signal intensity can be directly recorded and direction finding arrows can be directly placed on the map by the user to show the directions where the signal intensity is the greatest Once you are done you have a record of your work Figure 5 Locating Interference with integrated mapping solution Analyzing mapped signals is a quick way to locate signals that can be difficult to find otherwise Traces can be recorded on a map either manually or automatically Built in GPS can be used to record signal position and time data as the instrument moves The mapping functionality work

Hz 10 dB div Figure 1 DPX showing three hopping frequencies Scanning the RF spectrum allows users to spot which signal emitters are in the area New signals with significant power are usually candidates for further analysis However weak signals can also be of interest especially when they are close to strong signals Of particular interest are signals that are present in the spectrum today but were not there yesterday Signals can be stored as reference and deviations from this reference can be quickly identified using the trace math feature The SA2600 makes analysis easier by quickly logging signals that are weak bursty hopping time multiplexed or intentionally random It takes advantage of the FFT based spectrum analysis capability to allow users to see the true shape of the signal even when it is bursty Masks can be automatically created from traces captured earlier You can compare this mask to the current trace and if a mask violation occurs the trace is logged Finally when the spectrogram is paused you can scroll through the spectrogram s time axis and view the results EE an IR Ref Level Abtolevel R Span 10 000000 mHz AAAA katt nd AH 95 000000 MHZ 100 000000 MHz D Display Tr g Live Trace Load From Ref A x ABS Tracer i Figure 2 Trace math showing signals not present in the reference www tektronix com SA2600 3 Datasheet SA2600 Real Time Spectrum Analyzer
